She was starting to wake up again.
She was in darkness lying on the floor and her hands were behind her back as a rope was tied fully around her stomach and to her back. And very tightly at that as her hands were also tied with the same rope. All she could tell that she was in this room that she was alone and the flooring it was likely a kitchen or a bathroom.
'What happened ?' she asked herself.
'Where am I ?' she asked herself.
Judging by the headache and the taste of chloroform, she was kidnapped and the memories started to food back again.
She was able to move her legs and pushed herself to stand up as best as she could, she noticed a window and jumped on the counter so that she could look out of it.
But she was disappointed to see that she was on the second floor of the house that she had now acknowledged that she was in as she looked at the other identical building in the street. She could not break the window by breaking it, so she was going to have to find another way out and she had a feeling that she going to have to do it soon.
" What do you mean you haven't killed her yet ? "
She heard the disguised blurred voice and immediately jumped off the counter to follow the voice as she felt that she needed to listen to every word this man had to say.
" What are you waiting for ? "
The man was angry and judging by his tone he was talking to someone in the same room as himself.
" I can't just do as I please, I have orders "
Said the second voice.
She noticed a hole in the wall that she could look through and watch everything unfold.
He recognized the woman immediately as the one that had kidnapped him and the man she was talking to was dressed in dark clothing and his back was turned as he talked to the woman so that she could not see his face.
" My orders are to bring her back in one piece the organization wants to after effects of the poison " said the woman.
That explained why she was still alive.
Likely the weird Doctor Opera would have killed her by now right as she stared at him he was far the creepiest of all of the two of them. He was dressed in a cape and a top had that were a dark blue that just sent a chill down your spine as if he was some creepy serial killer from an Opera of some sorts.
He turned around as the woman began to end their conversation because of the answer she had said and it seemed like he had agreed with the conclusion she had said. So, he turned around and that was when she had seen his face which sent chills down her spine because she saw his face at that very moment or rather the mask that he was wearing.
He was wearing a creepy plain white mask that you would see on a stage but this one had a creepy sinister smile with even creepier eyes to match that would just give you an evil piercing look as if he was a sister and happy killer.
She could swear that he was look straight at her, that he could steal her through the small hole that she was looking through right now even know it was so small he could see her. And that is when she began to back away in fear for just that moment because the worse things she could fear could possibly happen at that very moment.
He was coming towards her at that very moment and she was unsure of what to do.
" What did you use on her ? " said the man.
He was looking in on her as she pretended that she was still asleep, he was looking through the hole in the wall making it clear it was there on purpose or he knew that it was there and he used it to his advantage.
" Chloroform, she should be out for at least another hour " said the woman.
The man stepped away.
" So that little girl is Kudo Shinichi High School Detective ? " said the man.
" I find it hard to believe myself but that kid showed up the same that she disappeared and they have solved every single case that has come their way ever since " said the woman.
" It looks like the scientist at the organisation have accidentally stumbled a upon a fountain of youth. It is only natural that they will want to study the effects of the poison " said the woman.
" Ha ha I might conduct a study of my own " said the man as he laughed at the thought of it.
" What do you mean ? " said the woman.
" I have some right here " said the man.
That was the first time that she had seen it as he held out six of them right there in a small mental container that he held in his hand showing that woman the poison.
Was it going to be used on her again ?
Or was it going to be used on someone else ?
She could only ask herself these question as she watched what was happening at that very moment.
" If I use some of those on someone I can find out what happens " said the man.
The woman was beginning to sweat.
" Yes, but who do you intend to use the poison on " said the woman.
She could hear the hesitation in the woman's voice.
" The man that we are dealing with tomorrow, the organisation wants me to kill him anyway so why not use him as a guinea pig anyway then we will kill him. No one will know " said the man.
" And what if it does really reverse the aging process ? " said the woman.
" Then I sell the pills but first we kill the guinea pig and the kid, this is the only way this will end " said the man.
" But I just told you orders are to take the kid in alive. I can't show up at the organisation without the girl I might as go jump off the roof right now " said the woman scared.
The man started laugh confidentially at the scared woman as if her fear did not matter or rather fear was a pointless emotion.
" That might not seem necessary " said the man.
" What do you mean ? " said the woman.
He was now pointing the same exact gun at the woman's head that was pointed at her head earlier that day.
" Shut up " said the man.
The woman was now silent.
" I am in charge here, so you do things my way or you die, is that clear enough for you ? " said the woman.
" Yes, Sir I understand " said the woman.
The conversation continued as she lied there on freezing cold floor as they talked about the meeting that would be the next day and it was as if they had forgotten all about her as they left her there to lie the whole day
She had waited long enough because both of them were asleep and being their usual creepy selves, so this was her best chance of escaping.
First, she would need to find away to untie herself.
She searched the room and the only thing that she could see that would be able to use to untie the ropes was a wine bottle. So, she would have to break it without making a sound and she used the small rug on the floor to wrap around the wine bottle to make no sound as she broke it as she used her feet the best she could hoping that it would not make a single noise.
CRACK
She had no such luck as it made a small but high-pitched noise as she broke it at the end as she quickly began to untie herself the best not to she could and the fastest she could be hoping that they would not wake up. Using a small jagged piece, she was able to free herself and she was now free to look around fully to make her escape with. She was free from the ropes and her captors were still fast asleep.
Looking out the window again it was her only escape but jumping down she knew that she would break her leg doing it. And she would not get very far with a broken leg, the snow would cushion her fall but not that much and she would be still cold.
So, an escape was out.
So logically the next thing she could do was make them thing that she escaped by hiding in the fridge and they would leave thinking that she had escaped and she could use that to her advantage to actually escape.
Drip
Drip
Drip
That annoying dripping sound was getting on her last nerve but where was it coming from ?
'I see' she thought as she smiled.
The next day
The two captors were now in the kitchen where she had been placed and they were arguing about how she had disappeared and what they were going to do about it.
" What how could she be gone ? " said the man.
She left the window opened.
" She must have escaped through the window; the snow must have cushioned her fall that is how she must have escaped " said the woman.
the woman was ready to leave and start her search as she could hear the door being open her plan was working.
" We better hurry before she gets to the police " said the woman.
" There is no need for that " said the man.
'Shit ' she thought as she began to hug herself even tighter as her knees where already pinned to her chest as she was in such a tight spot barely able to move an inch.
" She hasn't left because she is already here just hiding like the scared little mouse she is " said the man.
" Are you sure ? " said the woman.
" She only made it look like she had escaped so that she could wait for us to leave " said the man.
She heard a gun being taken out and him stepping towards the fringe as his feet creaked on the creaky floorboards.
" So, there you are " said the man as he opened the fridge and pointing the gun.
The fridge was opened alright but she was not in there because she was somewhere else and so happy that had she had not be caught.
" Huh? " said the man disappointed.
She could practically feel the smirk from here.
" Even you are wrong sometimes " said the woman.
They both continued to argue as they exited the place and she waited the right amount of time before she exited from the small space in the floorboards that she had been hiding in. She had been hiding in a storage compartment and if she had not found it luckily then it be more than likely that she would be dead meat right now.
She then searched the apartment to see if she could find those pills because if she could find those pills then Agasa could use them to make a cure from one of them. But after a long search she found nothing and then it clicked that the meeting that they were going to have would be the place that she would find those pills.
So that was the place that she had to go.
But for that she had to find where they were going and save the other guy as well.
She then quickly searched the apartment for the clues that she would need to find out where they were going.
She was the Queen of puzzles and word scrambles this was thing that she could do correctly.
The newspaper had a tea stain on one page and was the most looked at as it had the most dents in it and even a rip in it with also the coffee stain and the smell of cigarettes. This where she would find her clues and looking at it there was ads for places to stay nearby because of the type of newspaper as well. She knew that she was still in Beika and looking at the time the meeting would be soon and she did not hear a car engine which mean that they had to walk there.
A few numbers were touched the smell of nail varnish told her that.
It was the Beika Hotel that they were going to.
Also, the number thirty was written on the page.
Using a hat and scarf that she had said that she had lost and got it from the lost and found, she was now using it as a disguise so that she could stake out the lobby and wait to find out what would happen next.
But the puzzle of the number thirty was still confusing her until listening in on a collection a man getting his suitcase as he handed over his claim ticket. That must be it because the place only had nineteen floors and they did not have that many rooms on each floor as they were back to the start on each floor.
Now to ask some questions and put on the childish act again of a curious and polite little girl.
" Excuse me Miss " she said shyly to the woman at the counter.
" Yes " said the receptionist.
" My Daddy sent me here and I sort of lost the claim ticket, I don't want to get in trouble with him for losing it so could you please help me and get it for me please. I don't want to get in trouble he will just ground me again like the last time I lost his wallet and something about him losing a lot of money because of plastic card thingy's " she said in her childish voice.
" Let me see what I can do for you ? " said the woman opening up the computer screen.
She quickly looked at the screen looking at the information.
" Can you please tell me the number ? " said the receptionist.
Looking at the screen she had gotten the information she needed and immediately left.
" Can you give me the number please ? " said the receptionist.
But Shinichi was already walking away as she said this and heard it as she smirked walking away.
It was not what she was looking for.
Then listening in on a conversation that she heard from a couple it had to be a parking space because that was all that was left.
Standing in the garage at the number thirty there was a van parked there with no one in it and she began to inspect it the best that she could. But to her surprise she was being shouted at by a family with a very angry boy accusing of her trying to steal her candy. She did not even care for candy or any kinds of sweets not even as a child.
" I was just looking " she said as she looked at her feet.
It was clear that they were not the target and as they got in the van driving away she had to think of something else.
She was stuck and now stood thinking as she put her hand to her chin.
Then she noticed something right next to the thirty but at the exact same time she heard footsteps and heavy ones at that which made her look up.
'Is that man or a mountain ?' she thought as she stared in utter shock.
She was currently seeing a large man that looked like a giant and heavily built one as well. Wearing a face mask, glasses and a hat while carrying a suitcase he was definitely up to something and she hid instantly because of this.
She quickly hid behind another car as she watched the mountain man stop right at the car park where she just stood and he was now looking at it as if there was something that he needed to see. And feeling that she was getting from this man had confirmed that he had got what he had needed as he walked away and as he picked up his suitcase again.
And then he had walked away and as he did and making sure that he was gone she had gone to look at the thirty to see what she had on it. It was small but it was there as she peered down looking closer it was the number one, written in chalk. Obviously given as a hint and an instruction to what the mountain man was to do next and where he was to go for the meeting that he was about to have. A meeting that he sadly did not know that he was about to murdered at as soon as he handed the information over because he would become obsolete. She had to save him was the first thing that she had to do.
The room number it had to be.
She followed the mountain man without ever making a sound or her shadow being shown as he went to location that he was supposed to go to his meeting. She was correct it was the room that he had went to and she watched as he knocked on the door ready to see who would answer the door to see who it would be on the other side of the door.
She was shocked how she was able to do all of this her skills for stealth were amazing and unkempt as she was a natural. But most of all she had no idea how she was able to do this all in the first place and she was excited to see what she would be able to next as she was still getting used to seeing again.
And what she was capable of doing and what she needed to get a handle on again because she was still trying to get used to traffic lights and for some reason she kept walking into things that she did not see. She was rather clumsy at times and she had almost hit her head on a daily basis on a random thing or in a situation that she had no idea how it even happened.
So many blows to the head and she was still missing part of her life and memories that she was still not sure if she wanted it back or not because all she knew those memories were bad and was the reason she did not want to remember them. Those memories must a hell of traumatic considering the things that she has seen and not seen over the years.
Hiding behind a potted plant was the only place that she could hide right now without being noticed by anyone at all. Also, it happened to be the best place for a view of what was happening as she had a clear view of what was happening right now and to watch when they would leave the room so that she could follow. Taking mental notes of what was happening and tailing everything down to the last detail because she knew that she would need it.
But to her horror the fake mother was coming down the hall and she was going in her direction and she would be being passing her as she did it and she would be noticed. Either she would have to run from them hoping that her luck would be with her and she would be able to escape without them being able to catch her.
But just her luck and it was luck at that the door behind her was being opened by the same mother that she had seen earlier on in the parking lot, and she was leaving with her son behind.
She quickly went into the hotel room as they said their goodbyes and the boy's mother giving him the usual instructions of what to do and what not to do. Like for example talking to strangers and opening the door to them because one of them might be a murderer. Though the ones in the room across the hall are murderers, kidnappers, blackmailers, thieves' ad so many more to add to the list of people you do not want near your child.
She ducked in without being seen and still was not sure how she was not notice by a single person but then again, they were distracted and they should not be being expecting someone her size sneaking in the room.
The boy closed the door happily still not noticing her just standing there as she was physically sweating as she could see the woman's shadow passing like death.
" BURGLAR! " he screamed in shock as soon as he saw her.
'Shit' she thought at his reaction and as she covered his mouth with her hands hoping to make him quiet.
He was an alien fan she could see by the stack of games and the bags under his eyes of him sitting up all night playing video games. Plus, there was the one on the games console that was being played just on pause as she could hear the music, the same one that 'The Junior Detective League' liked playing.
" Shah Kid. I am perusing evil aliens from the planet Rampo. I am the great space Detective Christie here to save the day " she said confidentially standing like a superhero.
The kid was no longer scared but just seemed mad.
" No way aliens don't wear glasses, plus you're a girl " said the boy.
She frowned at the girl part.
" Kid it is just a disguise and girls can do whatever boys can do " said Christie as she frowned.
" The show me what you really look like " said the boy.
Boy was this kid annoying.
" I can't right now " said Christie.
He was running towards the phone " Robber I am calling the police " said the boy.
She mentally sighed.
" Put that phone down right now " she said using the mother's voice.
And scared the boy in the progress as he threw the phone in the air frightened to what he was hearing. Maybe she had scared him a little too much because right now he looked panicked and the phone could be broken by now.
" Hey how did you do that ? " said the boy.
She smiled he was not scared anymore he was too curious and his emotions had quickly changed. This kid had a short attention span when it came to his emotions and to what was happening because he could be kidnapped by an alien right now and he looked happy and excited to what was happening.
" I told that I am from the planet Ramp and this is one of our special abilities to change our voices if we want to " said Christie a she used the bowtie again.
This was too easy because the boy was excited and hanging onto her every single word. She wondered if she was ever this gullible at this age and if she would have fallen for the same trick.
She had to hand it to Agasa for saving her neck once again with the bowtie and for his many gadgets that she used.
The boy was more than helpful as he offered it without a single question.
All she needed was to use the phone.
Some gum.
And everything would be in the clear, hopefully.
